Camera novice requiring advice

Hi, I am expecting for few suggestion on purchasing new camera. I have only had a baby and entirely forgot to purchase a nice camera early she acquired here. I am expecting for a camera that produces excellent quality pictures in auto mode, does not assume so long assuming the picture once I press the shutter and is compact. I was imagining about the canon s95/s100 but I imagine it would be a waste of money unless I plan on learning how to utilize the characteristic, so I thought might be the canon elph 300, but it is menu did not look too user friendly when I tried it equated to a Sony cybershot.

Be conservative with the flash in the baby's eyes - It can not be excellent for a newborn baby. But not much of a trouble, because a newborn baby had its eyes closed most of the time anyway. Shutter lag for the elf camera is average, the S95 is quick, the S100 is average unless you turn off a latest characteristics.

With the latest characteristic turned off, the shutter lag is quick. The latest characteristic is about letting the camera automatically choose the Mode. If you are utilizing flash, shot to shot time will be various seconds because it assumes at least 2.5 seconds to recharge the flash capacitor. This is fact on any camera, still the so expensive ones.
